E-Books or CDROM for Educators, Parents, Teens -- or anyone else looking to get the right job! Don't just teach them to search for the right job. Teach them to GET one! Right now and in the future -- when you're

not around!

Strategies that you can't afford to miss!

Buy It!

If you are like many educators or parents, you might tend to

think that finding a job when you're a teenager is not a big deal.

All kids have jobs, you might say. But in reality, the

teen years are the perfect time to learn the RIGHT way

to seek employment using lessons that will carry them through their lives.

My books, Knock Them Dead for Job Strategies

and Knock Them Dead Resumes, teaches teens

(AND anyone needing to go to a job interview or

write a resume) how to THINK. How to make

DECISIONS when looking for a job. So? you may say.

That's what everyone does.

Not so. Many of us are using cookie-cutter practices for job interviewing that we have learned through the years for getting the job right now -- and not the best job for down the road. Though that approach might be timely RIGHT NOW, it will not reflect how a person proceeds in the future -- when advice is not readily available.

Knock Them Dead throws out the assembly line processes of the past and present in lieu of teaching how to understand the WHY of a choice while giving the ability to affect the outcome for now and times to come. So the lessons learned today with these ideas, will carry them through one's entire adult life -- when we are not around!

This book is perfect for:

	Educators needing curriculum for class work;
	Teens to do some self-paced individual learning

and job seeking at home;

Teachers to incorporate into an English

or Co-op classroom setting or computer

labs, and;

Parents who want to guide young people

down a road to independence.

(Oh, and by the way, these methods work for

adults in the workplace, as well!)

INTRODUCTION-- Knock Them Dead Job Interview Strategies

The process of finding and getting the right job is old -- a concoction of some higher power to make most stable and confident people feel nervous, anxious, overwrought, tense, and generally self-conscious at a very important time when they need all their faculties!

These job jitters, caused by the finally recognized and most dreadful enemy of the 2000s and beyond is, of course, stress and uncertainty; and provides a host of negative physical and emotional symptoms for those brave souls subjecting themselves to the dreaded job interview. Such characteristics as dry mouth, shaking hands, tight muscles,

forgetfulness, quick breathing, increased

blood pressure, nervous habits, perspiring,

poor speech patterns, upset stomachs,

fast heart rates, and scores of other

symptoms plague most job seekers to

varying degrees in their lives.

This is normal. Most people describe the major feeling

surrounding the job interview and search as

nervousness. Applicants feel nervous about themselves

-- background, qualifications, communication skills,

appearance. They also feel nervous about the interviewer.

What questions will be asked? What will the employer think of them?

Will the interviewer find them appealing?

Never fear, however, because there are ways to prevent (or at least disguise) these feelings of nervousness -- and all the other negative feelings -- relating to the job interview and getting the right job the first time.

Job interviewing skills can be (and should be) learned; and when practiced and mastered, these skills can banish those feelings of inadequacy! "That sounds great!" you might be saying. Others, however, skeptical of the competitive times and steady rejections, may doubt! "I don't think so," say the non-believers. Still others may reason, "I know all that already! I've heard it before!" Or, “Who cares?”

Whatever you may think, chances are, at some point, you will want a job. A good job. So read on.

Note from Author

Part I. KNOWING WHO YOU ARE!

Many students I've worked with over the years have a routine. They:

	· Examine the newspaper,
	· Find an ad that interests them,
	· Apply for an interview, and
	· Go to that interview with very little pre-interview preparation.

Others exhibit some forms of preparation; possibly a resume, a bit of research, or other techniques we will discuss further along. But most never take the time to prepare by looking at themselves first. I'm not talking about appearances right now (though I will, be assured), but of looking at oneself on a deeper level.

PASSION!

Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language defines passion as:

"Extreme, compelling emotion; intense

emotional drive or excitement; enthusiasm

or fondness; strong love or affection."

Now, what could your passion possibly

have to do with getting the right job?

Plenty! Ask yourself:

1. What drives me?

2. What do I enjoy doing more than anything else in the world?

3. What things do I like to do that inspire "passion" in me -- that extreme, compelling emotion; that excitement; that love and affection?

Maybe the key to how well you do on the job interview, and at the job once you've gotten it, is in something that excites you! Something you enjoy.
